TWO EastEnders stars visited Painshill Park in Cobham on Friday to sign up for an event to raise funds for a disability charity.

Zoe Lucker, who plays Vanessa Gold, and David Proud, who plays Adam Best, will be taking part in Roll ‘n’ Stroll, a sponsored run and walk for Newlife at Painshill Park on May 15.

"It's an amazing charity, Newlife, it isn't government funded so everything that they raise has to come from fundraising events and things like that, and donations, and sponsors. People need to help as much as possible." Zoe said.

Zoe will send runners off on the 2.5 mile run and David will start the 1.5 mile walk or roll for those in a wheelchair.

David says: "It’s great to be taking part in something that will help more disabled children get the vital equipment they need.

"As a wheelchair user myself, I know how a chair can provide freedom and independence and allows me to do everything that an able-bodied person can."

Speaking on behalf of event sponsor Cargill, Jan Winteridge, said: "We are delighted to be able to continue supporting Newlife by sponsoring this event.

"We hope the community will enjoy the day and get behind such a worthy cause."
